Lesson 15 : Table Setting

Introduction

An atmosphere of love, affection and warmth should prevail when family and friends are sitting at table. A happy, ncongenial atmosphere helps them forget the worries and tensions of the day and lets them do justice to the food. Rushing through meals or emotional disturbance at meal times interferes with proper intake, digestion and absorption of food.

The table equipment such as flat ware, glass ware and serving bowls need not be very expensive, but one can select aesthetically appealing and functionally sound table ware. Clean attractive table Linen and aesthetically chosen dinner ware with properly arranged table setting makes meal enjoyable.

Table wares are available in many designs and base materials. Dishes and serving dishes, soup bowls, tea sets, and tumblers are available in pottery, semi porcelain, plastic such as melamine, stainless steel and ovenware. The cutlery is made up of stainless steel, silver or chromium plated. All this equipment should be kept clean and in good shape. One can reserve some of these for special occasion to maintain their luster.
